For more than five thousand years, the River Oxus has been the life-blood of a mysterious ancient civilization. From its source somewhere on the roof of the world, it flows through the inhospitable lands of Central Asia and war-torn Afghanistan towards the Caspian Sea. It’s a land that remains almost totally unexplored. Photojournalist David Adams’ quest is to explore the 1500-mile course of the River Oxus for the first time – and travel back across the ages to discover how its turbulent natural and human history has shaped the story of our world.
